'Squidward just wanted to live a quiet life': 30 Villains that were actually 100% in the right

The villain is the bad guy and thus, they're always wrong. Since we were wee tots digging around in the sandbox, the one thing that's been crystal clear is that once you're a villain or a bad guy, that's all you were ever good for. But as we've seen as we grew up, villains actually all have an origin story that turned them 'evil'.

What if they're not evil after all? What if the villains of all these stories we've enjoyed over the last few decades are actually on to something?

Well the hive mind of the Internet has come together and compiled a list of classic fictional villains who actually were 100% right. So next time you're looking at Mr. Freeze from the 1980's batman, think again about how a guy obsessed with reversing climate change and saving his dead wife is the 'bad guy'. Just because you have a heroic outfit, doesn't make you a hero. And just because you're a leather-clad 'villain', doesn't mean your evil. At least… not completely.
